[quote=Autumnleaf post_id=2040233 time=1633104549 user_id=35378]Any child can remember this question?

My girl asking me abt this coz she says all her class mates different answer. And very different. For question (b)

The drawing question:
(a) draw a triangle with the same perimeter as parallelogram abcd
(b) find the ratio of parallelogram abcd to the triangle you drew.

My girl said the ratio of the area is 5:6

Thanks for sharing. Will tell her tomorrow. From what she shared earlier one of her classmates got 5:6, others 10:9, 5:8. She and one other got 1:1 but was so many varied answers. [/quote]1:1 is the correct ans. My son and classmates all got 1:1

A blessed morning to all fellow parents!

Can any experienced parents/wise ppl in this KSP forum share their top tips for how to revise the coming CL papers with their DS/DD (i.e. what/where/which specific areas to focus on and speculated topic for this year’s pictures compo etc), please help… thanks a lot!

My DD answered 1:1 too[/quote]Hi, please kindly share the rational of 1:1. Thanks. :thankyou:

Thank you to all who have shared. I am not sure of the worked solutions, I am lousy at maths but guess those who enjoy can give it a go

For the volume one, the ans is 7 and for the ratio of parallelogram to the triangle is 1:1 as both of the areas are 5cm2. If you get different ans , most likely draw triangle wrongly in the first place

In reply to whether if this year’s psle is indeed more difficult than past years , I’ve been wondering about it too . 2020 was relatively . 2018 & 2019 was a tough one (the triangle pattern , semicircle n egg tart discount).


Whereas for this year , insofar , there is only the coin question being discussed . My DC explained that there were quite a few more difficult questions that were long with accompanying diagrams . So perhaps that’s the reason why the kids don’t quite remember them .

My take is that I think this batch feel especially stressed out with 2 years of HBL and covid . So a moderately difficult paper simply tips them over . I don’t recall comments that kids come out crying after a difficult math paper in past years . But this year , I do hear personal recounts from friends’ kids who see their classmates bursting into tears halfway during the paper .

Let’s cheer our kids go to navigate through this tough environment. Each and everyone is a fighter in our own right !
